Powerful switch protection

With the ability to manually cut off the power supply to a certain area or equipment, MVS switches are ideal for applications such as transformer primaries, duplex switches and selector switches. They are available in both stand-alone or line-ups.

Exceptional interrupting capabilities

The quick-make, quick-break mechanism on the medium-voltage switch provides full-load current interrupting capability, while fuses deliver accurate, permanently calibrated short circuit detecting and interrupting capabilities.

Safety is our top priority

Eaton’s medium-voltage switch includes numerous safety features, including a high-impact viewing window that allows visibility of actual blade position, door interlocks, switch interlocks, and grounded metal barrier.

Mini-MVS offers 5 kV protection in a small footprint

Seismically qualified and just 26 inches wide, Eaton’s Mini-MVS switchgear is rated 200 amperes at 5 kV, making it ideal for use in power distribution, transformer primary connections and isolation applications requiring a stand-alone assembly, cable in/cable out terminations and manual operation.
